1. A Toxic Legacy? : A Study of PFAS Leakage from Landfills in the Eastern Part of Mälaren
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : The growing concern around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their negative health and environmental effects have lately become more apparent which also is reflected in the new, more strict regulations of permitted levels of PFAS in drinking water extracted from water resources. However, many point sources of PFAS pollution to the environment and to water resources are still not identified and assessed for risk. LÄS MER
2. Kartläggning av inherent flamskyddade textilier : hur påverkar dessa hälsa och miljö?
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiSammanfattning : Flamskyddsmedel i textila material används för att förhindra eller fördröja brand. Lagar och standarder ställer krav på att textila varor i offentliga miljöer har ett flamskydd. Flamskyddade textilier används också av de yrkesgrupper som utsätts för brandrisk på arbetsplatsen. Användningen av flamskydd har ökat sedan 1970-talet. LÄS MER
3. The study of organofluorine analysis applied to totaloxidizable precursor (TOP) assay to understand perandpolyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)
Kandidat-uppsats, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are synthetic chemicals which are used in a wide range of applications such as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) for firefighting, paint, coating and cosmetics. For almost a decade, PFASs have received worldwide attention because of the ubiquitous detection of PFAS in the environment and their bioaccumulative, persistent and give toxic effects on animals and humans.

4. Viktiga kommunikationsfaktorer för ökad utsortering av matavfall
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskapSammanfattning : The environmental goal “God bebyggd miljö” states that 50 percent of the food waste should be collected, and 40 percent of it should go through biological treatment. This goal together with the prohibition on organic waste to landfill is a mean of control to get municipalities toimplement waste treatment systems for food waste. LÄS MER
